Quickening (If citizenship means compelling new Canadians...)

0 comments quote
"If citizenship means compelling new Canadians whose parents hail from China or India or wherever to act and think like old white people, if it means compelling them to rage against Louis Riel’s execution, trumpet the sanctity of the CBC, and assume a false moral superiority over the United States, then who wants to be a citizen? Why do we keep propping up that old, worn notion of Canada?"

John Ibbitson in the Globe and Mail. I have no idea who Louis Riel is, only watch the CBC for The National and the Olympics, and would rather vacation in New Mexico than Nova Scotia, but I’m a well-adjusted immigrante. I credit my assimilation to the NFB and John Candy.
